I do agree that the normalization goes the wrong way when it comes to MSC.

Most other regionals never really got to the point where they reached the point of diminishing returns of tube scoring in qualifying, or never consistently had three scoring robots on a qualifying alliance. What we saw more of was many weak regionals where only 1-6 teams could score effectively, as such there were considerably lower scores. (Events with elimination matches where only 7 points were scored, etc.)
As always, I think I have to agree with what you say.
